Book Signing, Saturday, May 5, 2007 Yes, Sister: Memoir of a Young Nurse

Author: Christina - Published 2007-03-15 22:34 - (1510 Reads)
Nineteen-year-old Donna Yates is ripe with idealism and dreams when she enters a grueling three-year training program under the supervision of the indomitable Sister Leclerc at Holy Cross Hospital, School of Nursing. But her dreams are soon challenged as she comes up against the shocking realities of resident and hospital life...

Under strict rules and exacting standards of the French-speaking Grey Nuns, Yates learns the true meaning of “vocation.” Holy Cross did more than turn out good nurses…it changed the lives of the women who trained there.

This coming of age story has a distinct subtext that cuts across gender, religion and politics.



"This book is beautifully written - and very engaging. It comes at an important time in our health care era..." Christina Manolescu

Donna Yates-Adelman will be signing copies of her book at Chapters in Pointe Claire, Trans Canada and St. John's Road. Sat. may 5, 1 - 4 p.m. More details at http://www.yessister.ca

What does sex mean? Why do we have sex? Sex as lust, as love, as power. Sex as self-worth. Sex as self-destruction. Sex as status. Sex as failure. Nick doesn't know it, but on this Friday night he's working his way through all these positions. His past and future are coming together in the present: David

The Montreal Zen Poetry Festival, March 16th to 18th, 2007

Author: Christina - Published 2007-03-12 12:42 - (1024 Reads)

The Festival

“Words have no meaning” is the theme of the very first ever Montreal Zen Poetry Festival, an ambitious and enigmatic affair that will take off the weekend of March 16th to 18th, 2007.

Poets, translators, story-tellers, scholars, musicians, and Zen monks will come together to explore how Zen embraces a paradoxical relationship with language – a relationship which has strongly influenced both Asian and North American poetry movements.

The Montreal Zen Poetry Festival invites everyone, of all ages, to take part in the meaningful and entertaining line-up of events with our lively and thought-provoking performers and speakers.

Invitation to ELAN’s cinq-a-sept, Valentine’s, Tuesday, 13 February, 2007

Author: Christina - Published 2007-02-11 19:46 - (1021 Reads)
Vicki Marcok is the publishing rep on the ELAN (English Language Arts Network) board. She wants to invite everyone to ELAN’s cinq-a-sept for Valentine’s Day – a way for our artistic community to get better acquainted.

It will be held Tuesday, February 13, from 5 to 7 at the Empress Theatre (the old Cinema V at 5560 Sherbrooke West in NDG). Please RSVP ELAN at admin at quebec-elan.org, with Valentine’s Get Together in the subject line, so they will know how many to cater for.

Built in 1927, this beautiful Art Deco landmark is the only Egyptian-themed theatre in Canada, and was once the social hub of the community it graced. For over 12 years, this fine old building has stood empty and forlorn, but a group of committed citizens is working to rebuild and recreate this heritage landmark into a fine and performing arts centre, named the Empress Cultural Centre http://www.empressndg.org

As ELAN members, you are invited to come mix, mingle & schmooze with fellow members and the ELAN Board, and while you’re at it find out what’s happening with the Empress project (mini tours will be given upon request).

Beer, juice & snacks will be served. Feel free to bring anyone who may find ELAN or the Empress of interest, but do RSVP to admin at quebec-elan.org by end of day Sunday with “RSVP” in the subject line to help us prepare.

Looking forward to seeing you there, ELAN Board & Staff

Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous!

(français en dessous)

We're all excited (the crew and me) about the new classes starting next week! We haven't seen some of you for a while and can't wait to get reacquainted! And there are some new people we're dying to meet, especially the ones who send us funny emails.

My Ballroom Level 2 people: Guess what! We're going to have the Level 2 class on Sundays at 3. Yes, I know it's the same time as the Level 1 class. Don't ask too many questions about how we managed that. There will be two of us keeping you occupied. So, if you've been waiting to put your dance shoes back on, you can do it on the 14th...

The rest of you who haven't registered yet, you don't wanna miss the party! Check out the schedule at:
